Bates Thirty Votes.

The Banners comment on Bates
thirty votes was, in the end, a start
ling Significance. Bate had thirty
sticking votes. John Littleton said
"the Democrat party has gone to the
devil for thirty years." When the
committee informed Bate of his nom
ination he, by accident, was standing
in front of room No. 30, Maxwell
House. When he started to the Cap
itol Gen. Thurman, who Is 30 years
old, could not find the driver, aud
jumped upon hack No. 30 and drove
Gov. Bate TO the Capitol. Fort, the
Chairman, and Odlum the Secretary
of The caucus were each 30 years old.
When Bate was first inaugurated
Governor lie had been married thir-
ty years TO the day. Bate was nomi-
mated by the caucus thirty minutes
past 8 o'clock. Bate made thirty
minutes speech, and thirty-pound
cannons were fired in honor of his
nomination. 1t does seem that there
is luck in the number thirty. Twelve
years ago to-day johnson defeated
Bate, and he was the only one of the
candidates who went in and congrat-
uated johnson on his election

They are having high old time in
the New Jersey Legislature. The
Democrats have 40 members, the Re-
publicans 80 and the Labor men 2 OIL
joint ballot. The Republicans con-
troll the Senate and have delayed the
organization of that body for the last
two weeks, TO prevent ballot for
United States Senator. The House
proceeded to take ballot Tuesday
despite this fact and 30 votes were
cast for Albeit. The 8 votes In the
Senate would give him 80, or two
short of enough. Baird, the Demo-
cratic speaker ofthe House, refuses to
caucus and declined to vote with his
party associates. With his vote and
one of the Labor men the Democrats
could elect a Senator. Baird says he
will not vote for any candidate not a
Democrat, but refuses to go into the
caucus 10 select a candidate. The
Senate adjourned from Tuesday till
to-day and in the meanwhile the
Democrats will continue 10 ballot
from day TO day, the Democratic Sem
ators joining with the Assembly. The
situation is worse mixed up, if posi-
BILE, than it is in Indiana.

The Greensboro Inquirer, which
generally entertains views peculiar
ly its own, is about the only paper
we have seen that has had good
word for the present Superintendent
of Public Instruction, who has so
signally failed to fill his office TO the
satisfaction of the people. There is
much better material for Superin-
tendent than Prof Pickett-some of
1t in our own district-and we still
hold to the opinion that change is
imperetively demanded, if we would
have a capable and efficient officer at
the head Of our school system.

A TEXAS TRAIN ROBBED.
Eight Armed Robbers Beard a Tex.
as & Pacific Train, 1ntimidate
the Trainmen, and Plum
der the Express and
Mail Cars Of a
Large Sum.


FoRT WORTH, TEX, Jan 23.-On'
of the most daring and successful
train robberies ever committed IL
this State was perpetrated by eighl
armed and masked men two miles
east of Gordon, on the Texas n Pa
cific railroad, between 2 and A. NJ.
to-day. AS the regular passenger
train pulled out from Gordon for thu
east, two masked men jumped on thu
engine, one on each side. The en-
gineer, John Bosquet, turned TO then
and asked:
"Where are you fellows going"
"Just going to take a little ride
answered one of them.
"You will not ride on here" said
Bosquet.
II guess we WILL" said the man
and in an instant the engineer was
covered with two pistols pointed di-
rectly at his head. lie was ordered
to pull ahead, which he did until he
reached The coal chute at the trestle
bridge, something over mile east OF
Gordon. Here the engineer discov-
cred that distractions had been
placed across the track, and he was
ordered by the two men, who still
held their pistols in hand, TO pull up.
AS soon as the train stopped six
more men, all armed, appeared aud
ordered the engineer to take his pick
and hammer and break in the door
of the express car. He refused at
first, but was induced to do so by
threats of instant death in case of
continued refusal. After the door
had been forced the robbers entered
aud went through the safe, taking
everything they could find. The
amount of the loss could not be as
certained exactly, but report places
the amount at sums ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000.
Having finished the work in the
express car, the robbers went 10 the
mail car and made demand on the
route agent for all the money or val
tables he had. Thinking that the
robbers would not dare to modest the
United States mail, the agent was
very cool, and told the robbers that
they were in the wrong place, and
that he was United States mail
man. This declaration had no effect
on the robbers, who told the official
that unless he complied with their
demands he would soon be dead
man. There were sixty registered
mail packages in the car. While the
robbers were going through the ex-
press matter the mail agent had Sc
cured thirty-two of them and only
gave up twenty-eight to the robbers
The passengers were not molested.
A sheriff who was on the train ex-
changed shots with the robbers with
out effect. There were also negro
soldiers on the train. The value of
the mail packages cannot be esti-
mated.

will follow. In some cases the con-
verts declare that they have never
felt better than they did after the GER
emory had been performed upon
them. These alleged cures have
caused wide and varied expressions
as TO the ability of any one TO do these
things, but the cures stand for them
selves as evidence. Some pronounce
the Rev. Merrill mesmerist and a
fanatic, and various other epithets are
applied, but he goes on doing his pc
culiar work. 1t is the most remarks
bic thing that has ever occurred in
religious circles in tins part of the
country.

Death O. Ensiuecr Carney,

Al. H. Gurney, one of the oldest and most respected engineers on the A. and P. railroad. d,ed at $40 o'clock last evening, at his residence in Winslow. He left the Needles Thursday evening driving the engine of the east bound train. apparently in his usual rood health. On reaching rruxton, while oiling his engine as the train was in the station yard he was taken sick suddenly and fell down insenSible. H. was placed in the baggage car and made as comfortable IS possible and brought in with the train as he WAS very much exhausted and 1t was very hot was thought that as the higher altitude of the noun. tains was approached he would im- prove. At Falrview, Dr. Hardrich met tke train and attended to him but contrary to expectations the higher altitude seemed to have a bad instead of good effect on him. O. reaching Flagstaff Dr. Brannen JDlned Dr. Hardrlch and lt was deem ed advisable to take Mir. Gurney to his home in Winslow. His wife had been tel,graphed for to meet him here but she mt the train at Walnut Station and returned with her huS band to Winslow, where he dIed at S:3o o'clock, about one hour after reaching his home. The doctors pro- nounced the cause of death to be so- lar appoPIrxy.
 Mir. Carney, who was about 3s years of age, was native of St. Lou IS. He had been w.rKing as an en- engineer of the A & P. road for Sev- eral years, and was universally resprc, ted by the officers of the company. his associates and many friends. H: was Knight of Pythias and the members of that order will take charge of his remains and send the hody to his former home in S.. Louis for burial. He leaves a widow but no children.
